The main problem with classic thinking is people cannot escape their
mind or what they are able to see.
The full extent of EM theory can only be grasped in higher dimension than 4.
As a starter you can dig into Maxwell on S^3 :
https://www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/ParsleyThesis.pdf.
But you must go to SO(4) (S^5 for rotations) to get the true picture of
the basic static relation between source charge and EM fields, what
leads to the stable nucleus.
So everything you today read about black holes etc. is outrageous
nonsense, as today's accepted.. physics has no clue about the structure
of mass.
By the way: Toroidal fields first were investigated by Tesla --> Tesla
coils. All EM waves basically are toroidal but we try to make them as
spherical as possible. In the far field the toroidal field components
can be (most of the time) neglected. Most of the literature about pure
toroidal fields or scalar EM waves is classified. But just google some
terms I gave.

Cosmic strings in a garage-lab?
The main thing seemingly missing from Maxwell is ...closed
ring-defects or "smoke rings." They appear in fluids, but not in
fluid-analogy for EM fields. Some amperes trapped in a
superconducting ring are similar, but b-fields are not EM Torsion.
Hugo Gernsback had tiny articles about pulsed coils which launch
ring-vorticies rather than EM waves. (Where would he get such an
idea?) Maybe cosmic strings are accidentally produced by sharp-pulsed
circuitry? If one hits you in the face, would you feel anything?
(Obviously the signature to watch for is odd EM pulses which travel
far *slower* than lightspeed. If coils don't detect them, maybe an
NE-2 bulb might respond? Try to persuade one to coast to a halt.

RM Kiehn, heterodoxy-attracting topologist of U. Texas Houston, has
this too-obscure paper below, which I've been meaning to figure out
someday, found on his old site "Cartan's Corner."
